214 jd riding mower

Looking at a 214 JD with 46 inch cut that mows good and looks really clean for the model.
Any rough ideas of what it is worth. They are asking 450.00
 
While I love old iron, and in no way want to devalue it, that tractor is between 30 and 40 years old.

Ultimaley, it is up to you to put a value on it that you are comfortable with.
 
I have a 212 that I bought new in 1978. It's been the best motorized machine of anything I've ever owned -- better than cars, trucks, push mowers, weed whips, you name it The only repair has been a fuel pump -- easy to change and cheap. If I could find a 214 in running condition for $450, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Parts are still easily available from Deere or online sources.
 
I too would buy it in a heartbeat for $450 but woud be a little skittish if it has the Onan engine.

I have a 185Hydro from the late 80s that I paid $300 for and had to repair to make run.
 
Prices vary by region but $450 is a good price for a decent 214 most places. I'd probably buy it. You can find out the year by looking up the serial number at the weekend freedom machines website.

A couple things to check - the variator is the handle on the right side of the console. Make sure the tractor slows down when you pull the lever back. A lot of people will take off the safety switches, so make sure the tractor has to be in neutral and the PTO turned off the start the engine.
 
book value shows 300 at best,but they are just quess also. i wouldnot give over 300.0 in this case thou and it better be really nice.
 
I am not sure if the 200 series used the Onan engine. I would be skittish if it did tho. The Kawasaki engines seem very dependable.
 
Another thing to check if you get the chance to mow or drive it around..jumping out of the popular second gear. Leo
